To the Bailey Family: I was a co-worker with your Dad, and retired a few years ago. I can honestly say that Harlan was well respected by the many people who worked with and for him. He epitomized what all other managers and co-workers wanted to respresent in a world of deep commitment to duty and hard work. He lead by example and never complained, always respecting other’s feelings and thoughts. You could always talk to Harlan and know that he listened and expressed his opinion honestly. I always respected and liked Harlan, as did many others, and he will be greatly missed by many. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you. Juan Guerra

I was honored to serve with Harlan in Genoa and met his lovely wife Laura during her visit. Harlan always had a smile on his face and enjoyed life to the fullest. He bragged constantly about his children and family. Harlan was not only a valued co-worker, he was my friend and brother. To his family, my deepest and heartfelt sympathies on your tragic loss.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I had the pleasure of having Harlan work for me in Genoa, Italy, and I also had the pleasure of enjoying his cooking! I know that Harlan will be greatly missed and that he touched many lives. Thank you for sharing him with all of us! Deb Note

To the entire Bailey family please accept my condolences on behalf of the Boubel family. Harlan and I hade some epic adventures and narrow escapes as young men(stories that I will share with my grandchildren some day). I share your sadness at the loss of your husband, father, brother and my good friend. I will miss the hogrider. I will raise a beer and shed a tear as I remember him fondly and recall our many mis-adventures with a raised eyebrow and a mischevious grin....via con dios mi amigo.

I would like to express my deepest heart felt condolences to all of the family of Harlan Eugene Bailey. I know he will be missed dearly by all that knew him. He raised a wonderful family. The Gandhi family

My heartfelt condolences to the Bailey family. Mr. Bailey will always be part of the U.S. Customs brotherhood. We will continue to remember him our prayers. He was a great supervisor and above all else a great person and friend. Rest in peace brother.

On behalf of the United States Department of Transportation, Special Agents stationed at the World Trade Bridge we wish our beloved brother, Harlan Bailey a farewell full of God's blessings. I personnally will miss being able to visit with him at his office which was decorated with all his family's memories. He was so proud of all his family members and their accompishments. His wife and kids were the most important things in his life. He was a proud father and husband. He would rather hang a family picture instead of an award or a work certificate of his accomplishments.

My deepest condolences to the entire Bailey Family. I was privileged to have met Harlan along with his wife, Laura while attending Supervisor Training in Dallas, TX back in May 2007'. I will keep the tradition of carving the date and initials on the wine bottle cork in his memory to signify good times with friends! Will Romero

Harlan and I were business assosciates thru USCustoms. He was honorable in all aspects of his work. It was a pleasure to work with him on projects. May God give each of you peace and His grace as you walk thru the loss of your husband and father. We will remember you in our prayers.

I would like to extend my personal condolences to the family and loved ones of Harlan Bailey. I had the privilege of working with Mr. Bailey when I was with CBP in Laredo from March 2004 until January 2009. He was one of my supervisors at Bridge One and also at the World Trade Bridge and I can say without hesitation that Harlan Bailey was a man who always treated me with the utmost dignity and respect. Anytime I needed help or advice he would always go out of his way to let me know that his door was always open. We shared many laughs and good times together during my time in Laredo and I am truly saddened at his untimely passing. His loss is a great one to the CBP family and he will be forever missed. Thank you Mr. Bailey for everything you ever did for me. I will never forget your compassion and your service to this great nation. May you rest in eternal peace with our Heavenly Father, and may we be reunited someday soon on those streets of purest gold! Matt Dillon - Supervisory CBP Officer, Houston, Texas
